OpenAI Misses Deadline for Delivering Promised Opt-Out Tool

OpenAI's promised Media Manager tool, announced in May to give creators control over AI training data, remains unreleased with no clear launch timeline.

Details:

  • OpenAI announced the Media Manager tool to address creator concerns about copyrighted content but never prioritized it, with no clear progress reported by insiders

  • The company faces lawsuits over unauthorized AI training data use, with critics calling its opt-out options inadequate and creator-unfriendly

  • Tool's status is unclear, as its lead developer is currently part-time. OpenAI's last update in August confirmed it remains "still in development"

OpenAI’s failure to deliver highlights the tension between AI development and creator rights, raising questions about its commitment to ethical challenges.

AI in Healthcare

Robots Learn Surgery by Watching Medical Videos

Surgical robots have reached a milestone by learning complex procedures through video observation, with precision matching human doctors, thanks to research from Johns Hopkins and Stanford.

Details:

  • Robots autonomously learned to manipulate needles, tie knots, and suture, even self-correcting mistakes like retrieving dropped needles

  • With a projected shortage of 10,000-20,000 U.S. surgeons by 2036, robotic surgery, which began in 1985, saw 876,000 procedures in 2020

  • The system understands verbal commands, like a surgical resident. While costly, research shows robotic surgery improves with surgeon experience

The advancement requires FDA approval. Robots assist surgeons, addressing fatigue and preserving human involvement. Testing on cadavers is a key step.
